Possible Red-naped x Red-breasted Sapsucker hybrid in southwest Boise

Kent Kleman
 

Possible hybrid Sapsucker, but it may also be a subspecies of RBSA—still working on that. I’d welcome any input as to species. 

First observed yesterday morning on Banjo Drive, and it is continuing this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. on Banjo Drive (43.5487634, -116.2885002). Today there are several sap wells on multiple trees along Banjo near this lat/long. Private property and backyards all around, but the bird is on common subdivision property and viewed from the sidewalk along Banjo.

Just saw the hybrid Red-naped Sapsucker X Res-breasted Sapsucker on the tree behind the sprinkler box/lamp post at 4:45. Just at the corner of Banjo and Guitar. I did not have my bins!!!

This one looks like a straight forward hybrid to me. Red doesn't extend very far down the breast, it has a partial black breast shield, limited red on head/face - really a 'tweener in all respects. Very nice photos.
